3 Norway Dispute Resolution Profile Preventing Disputes 3 A. Preventing Disputes 1. Are agreements reached by your competent authority to resolve difficulties or doubts arising as to the interpretation or application of your tax treaties in relation to issues of a general nature which concern, or which may concern, a category of taxpayers published? The agreements are published under the relevant country name in the list of tax treaties on ema/okono miogbudsjett/skatterogavgifter/skatteavtalermellomnorgeog andrestat/id417330/ 2. Are bilateral APA programmes implemented? If yes: On the basis of Double Taxation Agreements equivalent to Article 25 of the OECD Model Tax Convention. a. Are rollback of APAs provided for in the bilateral APA programmes? The taxpayer or the Norwegian competent authority may request rollback of the APA as an appropriate mean of resolving a transfer pricing issue in earlier years. The facts and circumstances of the case will be considered to determine whether such a rollback is appropriate and feasible. b. Are there specific timeline for the filing of an APA request?
4 Norway Dispute Resolution Profile Preventing Disputes c. Are rules, guidelines and procedures on how taxpayers can access and use bilateral APAs, including the specific information and documentation that should be submitted in a taxpayer s request for bilateral APA assistance, publicly available? No Bilateral APA requests shall be submitted to: Central Tax Office for Large Enterprises ("Sentralskattekontoret for Storbedrifter"); P.O. Box 1073 Valaskjold; NO1705 Sarpsborg, Norway 4 d. Are there any fees charged to taxpayers for a bilateral APA request? e. Are statistics relating to bilateral APAs publicly available? Information is available on total number of APAs in stock, the number of applications received and the number of cases settled during the year. The information is available in the Transfer Pricing Report which is published by the Tax Directorate on an annual basis (in Norwegian only).
5 Norway Dispute Resolution Profile Preventing Disputes 5 3. Is training provided to your officials involved in the auditing /examination of taxpayers to ensure that any assessments made by them are in accordance with the provisions of your tax treaties? 4. Is other information available on preventing tax treatyrelated disputes? The Norwegian Tax Administration has comprehensive education for tax auditors. With regard to transfer pricing the work of the Norwegian Tax Administration is coordinated among units. A large number of meetings, workshops and seminars are conducted that conveys knowledge of substantive issues. In addition; quality assurance of domestic transfer pricing adjustments is carried out by a separate national unit (the "TP Board") staffed with senior personnel experienced in international tax matters. Notes: 1. An APA is an arrangement that determines, in advance of controlled transactions, an appropriate set of criteria (e.g. method, comparables and appropriate adjustments thereto, critical assumptions as to future events) for the determination of the transfer pricing for those transactions over a fixed period of time. (see definition of APA in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations ( Transfer Pricing Guidelines )). 2. Situations may arise in which the issues resolved through an APA are relevant with respect to previous filed tax years not included within the original scope of the APA. The concept of rollback is further elaborated in paragraph of Section F (Advance pricing arrangement) of Chapter IV of the Transfer Pricing Guidelines and in paragraph 69 of Section D.4.2 (Possible retrospective application ( Roll back )) of the Annex to Chapter IV (Guidelines for Conducting Advance Pricing Arrangements under the Mutual Agreement Procedure ( MAP APAs )) of the Transfer Pricing Guidelines. Simply put, the rollback of the APA is understood to mean that the outcome of the APA is applied to previous filed tax years not included within the original scope of the APA.
6 Norway Dispute Resolution Profile Availability and Access to MAP 6 B. Availability and Access to MAP 5. Are transfer pricing cases covered within the scope of MAP? 6. Are issues relating to the application of treaty antiabuse provision covered within the scope of MAP? 7. Are issues relating to the application of domestic antiabuse provision covered within the scope of MAP? Guidance is under development Guidance is under development Guidance is under development 8. Are issues where there is already an audit settlement between the tax authority and the taxpayer covered within the scope of MAP? Norway does not have legislation or formal regulation regarding audit settlements. If, however, a taxpayer and the tax offices during an audit have agreed upon the outcome of an audit, the taxpayer's access to MAP will not be precluded. 9. Are double taxation cases resulting from bona fide taxpayer initiated foreign adjustments covered within the scope of MAP? 10. Are there any other treaty related issues not covered under s/n 5 to 9 which are not within the scope of MAP?
7 Norway Dispute Resolution Profile Availability and Access to MAP Are taxpayers allowed to request MAP assistance in cases where the taxpayer has sought to resolve the issue under dispute via the judicial and administrative remedies provided by the domestic law of your jurisdiction? Domestic remedies such as the administrative appeal process and/or court proceedings can be invoked independently and at the same time as invoking the MAP. The Norwegian competent authority will, however, ensure that a domestic remedy process and the MAP will not be handled in parallel in practice. Guidance is under development Often the taxpayer will submit a protective complaint/writ/map request to meet the time limits under a remedy and ask the Appeal Board, the juridical court or the competent authority not to proceed until the preferred remedy has been exhausted. Where the MAP is the preferred remedy, the taxpayer may revert to administrative appeal proceedings or court proceedings if a MAP is not concluded (provided that a protective complaint/writ has been made within the time limits). Where administrative appeal proceedings is the preferred remedy, the taxpayer may revert to MAP after the Appeal Board's decision has been made. Where juridical court proceeding is the preferred remedy, see the reply to question 12 below
8 Norway Dispute Resolution Profile Availability and Access to MAP Are taxpayers allowed to request for MAP assistance in cases where the issue under dispute has already been decided via the judicial and administrative remedies provided by the domestic law of your jurisdiction? If the Norwegian Tax Authority's adjustment is confirmed in a juridical court decision, the taxpayer may still revert to MAP to relieve double taxation, provided that time limit for requesting MAP is met. However, in such cases, the Norwegian competent authority, as a matter of policy, will not deviate from the court decision. Guidance is under development 13. Are rules, guidelines and procedures on how taxpayers can access and use MAP, including the specific information and documentation that should be submitted in a taxpayer s request for MAP assistance, publicly available? No Guidance is under development 14. Are there specific timeline for the filing of a MAP request? In most Tax Treaties the timeline for filing a MAP is stated in the Article on MAP in the Tax Treaty. Guidance is under development 15. Are guidance on multilateral MAPs publicly available? 16. Are tax collection procedures suspended during the period a MAP case is pending? No The tax collection procedure is not suspended when a taxpayer disputes the taxation via administrative or judicial remedies

10 Norway Dispute Resolution Profile Resolution of MAP Cases 10 C. Resolution of MAP Cases 19.

No No internal timeframes, but for those presented in BEPS Action Are statistics relating to the time taken to resolve MAP cases publicly available? The statistics are available on the OECD website. 21. Is interest or penalties resulting from adjustments made pursuant to a MAP agreement waived or dealt with as part of the MAP procedure? Interest or penalties are not within the MAP as such. Where, however, the outcome of a MAP is an agreement where a previous Norwegian adjustment is repealed or reduced, interest claims and penalties (additional tax levied as a percentage of the tax escaped from Norwegian taxation) will be correspondingly repealed or reduced. 22. Are the roles and responsibility of the MAP office publicly available, for example, is the mission statement of the MAP office available in the annual report of the organisation? No 23. Is MAP arbitration a mechanism currently available for the resolution of tax treaty related disputes in any of your tax treaties? Three tax treaties in force have provisions on MAP arbitration.

Does your treaty policy allow you to include MAP arbitration in your tax treaties? Is the explanation of the relationship between the MAP and domestic law administrative and judicial remedies publicly available? If yes: No Guidance is under development a. Does the guidance specifically address whether the competent authority considers that it is legally bound to follow a domestic court decision in the MAP or will not deviate from a domestic court decision as a matter of administrative policy or practice? b. Does your treaty policy allow you to include MAP arbitration in your tax treaties? 25. Are taxpayers allowed to request for multiyear resolution through the MAP of recurring issues with respect to filed tax years? Guidance is under development Guidance is under development
12 Norway Dispute Resolution Profile Resolution of MAP Cases Do all your jurisdiction s tax treaties contain a provision which would oblige your jurisdiction to make corresponding adjustments or to grant access to the MAP with respect to the economic double taxation that may otherwise result from a primary transfer pricing adjustment (i.e. is paragraph 2 of Article 9 of the OECD Model Tax Convention or the UN Model Double Taxation Convention included in all of your jurisdiction s tax treaties)? No 54 of our 93 tax treaties do not include paragraph 2 of Article 9. However, where a primary transfer pricing adjustment has been made in the other state, Norway grants access to MAP under article 25 even though Article 9 para. 2 is not included in the treaty. 27.
